Tuvalu is an island group located in the south western part of the Pacific Ocean and has been independent since 1978. Its national territory consists of nine islands. The atoll Funafuti is the capital. It is assumed that already 2000 years ago the colonisation on this 26 km2 area started.
The current population on the various atolls is approximately 12'200. The main economy branches are agriculture, fishing and seafaring. For the latter even a school especially for training sailors exists.
Tuvalu's main problem is the global warming. The islands highest peak is merely 5 meters above sea level. Therefore one can seriously reckon that in the course of the 21st century Tuvalu will be completely flooded and will disappear. This coin series shows the beauty of this threatened island world.
Seahorses are very endangered not at least because of their use in chinese medicine. Asians believe that crushed seahorses have healing qualities and can also raise potency.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Tuvalu.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. In the southern Pacific Ocean, few island nations enchant visitors quite like Tuvalu. Comprising nine small islands with a population of only about 10,000, Tuvalu is one of the smallest countries in the world. Formerly part of a larger area islands under British control, Polynesians on Tuvalu voted to separate from the Gilbert Island in 1974. Four years later, Tuvalu gained independence.
2. Funafuti Conservation Area is one of the best places to catch some beautiful natural sights including reefs, channel and a gorgeous lagoon. Thanks to its marine life diversity, it is an excellent spot for snorkeling and scuba diving.
3. Nui, Tuvalu is one of the most important islands in Tuvalu. The permanent settlement is on the main islet of Fenuatapu in Nui, Tuvalu. The Nui Island consists of 11 main islets. All the islets are separated by passages. The sea gushes through the passages from ocean to the lagoon. During low tide, people can walk across these passages from islet to islet.
4. The NationalResearch Council in the United States predicted that by 2100 global sea levels would rise 55 inches due to climate change. If that prediction holds true, the rising sea levels could damage the country’s coral roots and wipe out Tuvalu altogether. By 2012, there was already coastal erosion, a result of the rising sea level, excavation for construction, and extreme weather.
5. The origins of the people of Tuvalu are addressed in the theories regarding migration into the Pacific that began about 3000 years ago. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the nearer islands including Samoa and Tonga. Eight of the nine islands of Tuvalu were inhabited; thus the name, Tuvalu, means "eight standing together" in Tuvaluan. Possible evidence of fire in the Caves of Nanumanga may indicate human occupation for thousands of years.
6. The tiny island-nation of Tuvalu receives a yearly payment of almost $2.2 million for doing nothing at all. The is the money that the Tuvalu government receives from royalties from the country’s domain name, .tv! This ammount is about ten per cent of the government's total revenue. Domain name income paid most of the cost of paving the streets of Funafuti and installing street lighting in mid-2002.
7. Parents and children in Tuvalu usually do not have cordial relationships. However, relationships between grandparents and grandchildren, adoptive parents and adoptive children, and mother’s brother and sister’s child tend to be warm and affectionate. Within the family, you will notice that there is the most constrained cross-sex interaction between siblings, first, second, and even third cousins. Even today, they have to avoid each other totally except for things considered most necessary.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The TuvaluMaritimeTraining Institute (TMTI) is on Amatuku motu, on Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. TMTI provides training to approximately 120 marine cadets each year, to provide them with the basic skills necessary for employment as seafarers on merchant shipping. TMTI operates under the Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute Act 2000.

http://www.seezigeuner-film.de presents:
Tuvalu depends on its seafarers, depends on only two German shipping companies employing all its seafarers.
For 30 years the German seafarers of Tuvalu have supported their families at home and have shouldered the expenses of the education of a full generation of children. But times are changing. International developments have already left their mark on Tuvalus paramount source of income, piracy on the seas is increasing and Tuvaluan sailors struggle to advance to the officer ranks.

Marine biology

Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment, while biology is the study of the organisms themselves.

A large proportion of all life on Earth lives in the ocean. Exactly how large the proportion is unknown, since many ocean species are still to be discovered. The ocean is a complex three-dimensional world covering approximately 71% of the Earth's surface. The habitats studied in marine biology include everything from the tiny layers of surface water in which organisms and abiotic items may be trapped in surface tension between the ocean and atmosphere, to the depths of the oceanic trenches, sometimes 10,000 meters or more beneath the surface of the ocean. Specific habitats include coral reefs, kelp forests, seagrass meadows, the surrounds of seamounts and thermal vents, tidepools, muddy, sandy and rocky bottoms, and the open ocean (pelagic) zone, where solid objects are rare and the surface of the water is the only visible boundary. The organisms studied range from microscopic phytoplankton and zooplankton to huge cetaceans (whales) 30 meters (98 feet) in length.

At 165.25 million square kilometers (63.8 million square miles) in area, this largest division of the World Ocean—and, in turn, the hydrosphere—covers about 46% of the Earth's water surface and about one-third of its total surface area, making it larger than all of the Earth's land area combined.

The equator subdivides it into the North Pacific Ocean and South Pacific Ocean, with two exceptions: the Galápagos and Gilbert Islands, while straddling the equator, are deemed wholly within the South Pacific. The Mariana Trench in the western North Pacific is the deepest point in the world, reaching a depth of 10,911 metres (35,797ft).

Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute

The Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute (TMTI) is located on Amatukumotu, on Funafutiatoll in Tuvalu. TMTI provides training to approximately 120 marine cadets each year, to provide them with the basic skills necessary for employment as seafarers on merchant shipping. TMTI operates under the Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute Act 2000.

A number of Tuvaluans are employed as merchant seamen on cargo ships on contracts of up to 12 months. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) estimates that, as of 2011, there were 800 Tuvaluan men trained, certified and active as seafarers. The ADB estimates that, at any one time, about 15 percent of the adult male population works abroad as seafarers. The Ahrenkiel Group of Germany is the shipping company that is the primary employer of Tuvaluan seafarers. The SWIRE shipping company also employs Tuvaluan seafarers.

Twelve Tuvaluan sailors were among the crew of 24 of MV Hansa Stavanger, a German container ship that was captured by Somali pirates in April 2009.

Bahá'í study circle

The term study circle has become common terminology in the Bahá'í Faith to describe a specific type of gathering for the study of the Bahá'í teachings, with an emphasis on "promoting the well-being of humanity."

Study circles are a form of distance learning designed to systematically bring education about spiritual concepts to the grassroots level. Because they are intended to be sustainable and reproducible on a large scale, study circles shy away from formally taught classes, opting instead for participatory methods. They are usually led by a tutor whose role is not to act as an expert but rather to facilitate the rhythm and pace of the study circle. In this way, attendees of study circles are expected to become active participants in their own learning process.

Another foundational principle of study circles is a heavy emphasis on the Bahá'í writings as a means of finding unity of vision and action by focusing on the essentials of Bahá'í belief.

At the present time, the most common curriculum used in study circles is one that was originally developed at the Ruhi Institute in Colombia but is now used in Bahá'í communities all over the world. Because of its origin, most Bahá'ís refer to this curriculum as the Ruhi sequence or Ruhi materials. Additional courses used by study circles vary from country to country and include the "Fundamental Verities" and "Core Curriculum" materials developed in the United States, among others.

Tuvalu is een eilandengroep gelegen in het zuidwestelijke deel van de Stille Oceaan en is onafhankelijk sinds 1978. Het nationale grondgebied bestaat uit negen eilanden. Het atol Funafuti is de hoofdstad. Er wordt van uitgegaan dat al 2000 jaar geleden de kolonisatie in dit gebied is gestart.
De huidige populatie op de verschillende atollen is ongeveer 12'200. De belangrijkste economische takken zijn de landbouw, de visserij en de zeevaart. Voor de laatste is er zelfs een school met een opleiding voor matrozen. Tuvalu grootste probleem is de opwarming van de aarde. Het hoogste piek van het eiland is slechts 5 meter boven de zeespiegel. Daarom kan men serieus rekening houden dat in de loop van de 21e eeuw Tuvalu verdwijnt. Deze munt serie toont de schoonheid van deze bedreigde eiland ter wereld. De Spaanse ontdekkingsreiziger Alvaro de MENDANA de Neira was de eerste Europeaan die Tuvalu te ontdekte in 1568 met zijn schip genaamd Los Reyes. De karetschildpad is een mooie zeebewoner, maar is ook zeer kritisch bedreigd en daarom als symbool op de munt afgebeeld

- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

The German Seafarers of Tuvalu

http://www.seezigeuner-film.de presents:
Tuvalu depends on its seafarers, depends on only two German shipping companies employing all its seafarers.
For 30 years the German seafarers of Tuvalu have supported their families at home and have shouldered the expenses of the education of a full generation of children. But times are changing. International developments have already left their mark on Tuvalus paramount source of income, piracy on the seas is increasing and Tuvaluan sailors struggle to advance to the officer ranks.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Tuvalu.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. In the southern Pacific Ocean, few island nations enchant visitors quite like Tuvalu. Comprising nine small islands with a population of only about 10,000, Tuvalu is one of the smallest countries in the world. Formerly part of a larger area islands under British control, Polynesians on Tuvalu voted to separate from the Gilbert Island in 1974. Four years later, Tuvalu gained independence.
2. Funafuti Conservation Area is one of the best places to catch some beautiful natural sights including reefs, channel and a gorgeous lagoon. Thanks to its marine life diversity, it is an excellent spot for snorkeling and scuba diving.
3. Nui, Tuvalu is one of the most important islands in Tuvalu. The permanent settlement is on the main islet of Fenuatapu in Nui, Tuvalu. The Nui Island consists of 11 main islets. All the islets are separated by passages. The sea gushes through the passages from ocean to the lagoon. During low tide, people can walk across these passages from islet to islet.
4. The NationalResearch Council in the United States predicted that by 2100 global sea levels would rise 55 inches due to climate change. If that prediction holds true, the rising sea levels could damage the country’s coral roots and wipe out Tuvalu altogether. By 2012, there was already coastal erosion, a result of the rising sea level, excavation for construction, and extreme weather.
5. The origins of the people of Tuvalu are addressed in the theories regarding migration into the Pacific that began about 3000 years ago. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the nearer islands including Samoa and Tonga. Eight of the nine islands of Tuvalu were inhabited; thus the name, Tuvalu, means "eight standing together" in Tuvaluan. Possible evidence of fire in the Caves of Nanumanga may indicate human occupation for thousands of years.
6. The tiny island-nation of Tuvalu receives a yearly payment of almost $2.2 million for doing nothing at all. The is the money that the Tuvalu government receives from royalties from the country’s domain name, .tv! This ammount is about ten per cent of the government's total revenue. Domain name income paid most of the cost of paving the streets of Funafuti and installing street lighting in mid-2002.
7. Parents and children in Tuvalu usually do not have cordial relationships. However, relationships between grandparents and grandchildren, adoptive parents and adoptive children, and mother’s brother and sister’s child tend to be warm and affectionate. Within the family, you will notice that there is the most constrained cross-sex interaction between siblings, first, second, and even third cousins. Even today, they have to avoid each other totally except for things considered most necessary.

Possible evidence of fire in the Caves of Nanumanga may indicate human occupation for thousands of years.
6. The tiny island-nation of Tuvalu receives a yearly payment of almost $2.2 million for doing nothing at all. The is the money that the Tuvalu government receives from royalties from the country’s domain name, .tv! This ammount is about ten per cent of the government's total revenue. Domain name income paid most of the cost of paving the streets of Funafuti and installing street lighting in mid-2002.
7. Parents and children in Tuvalu usually do not have cordial relationships. However, relationships between grandparents and grandchildren, adoptive parents and adoptive children, and mother’s brother and sister’s child tend to be warm and affectionate. Within the family, you will notice that there is the most constrained cross-sex interaction between siblings, first, second, and even third cousins. Even today, they have to avoid each other totally except for things considered most necessary.

Tuvalu is een eilandengroep gelegen in het zuidwestelijke deel van de Stille Oceaan en is onafhankelijk sinds 1978. Het nationale grondgebied bestaat uit negen eilanden. Het atol Funafuti is de hoofdstad. Er wordt van uitgegaan dat al 2000 jaar geleden de kolonisatie in dit gebied is gestart.
De huidige populatie op de verschillende atollen is ongeveer 12'200. De belangrijkste economische takken zijn de landbouw, de visserij en de zeevaart. Voor de laatste is er zelfs een school met een opleiding voor matrozen. Tuvalu grootste probleem is de opwarming van de aarde. Het hoogste piek van het eiland is slechts 5 meter boven de zeespiegel. Daarom kan men serieus rekening houden dat in de loop van de 21e eeuw Tuvalu verdwijnt. Deze munt serie toont de schoonheid van deze bedreigde eiland ter wereld. De Spaanse ontdekkingsreiziger Alvaro de MENDANA de Neira was de eerste Europeaan die Tuvalu te ontdekte in 1568 met zijn schip genaamd Los Reyes. De karetschildpad is een mooie zeebewoner, maar is ook zeer kritisch bedreigd en daarom als symbool op de munt afgebeeld

Tuvalu is an island group located in the south western part of the Pacific Ocean and has been independent since 1978. Its national territory consists of nine islands. The atoll Funafuti is the capital. It is assumed that already 2000 years ago the colonisation on this 26 km2 area started.

Tuvalu's main problem is the global warming. The islands highest peak is merely 5 meters above sea level. Therefore one can seriously reckon that in the course of the 21st century Tuvalu will be completely flooded and will disappear. This coin series shows the beauty of this threatened island world.
Seahorses are very endangered not at least because of their use in chinese medicine. Asians believe that crushed seahorses have healing qualities and can also raise potency.

TUVALU, grandfather gives a haircut to his grandchild in FUNAFUTI (PACIFIC OCEAN)

SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/c/VicStefanu - Let's walk around the atoll of Funafuti, rarely visited by tourists, in the island nation of Tuvalu in the Pacific Ocean and let's view a short video of a grandfather giving a haircut to his grandson in the yard of their house in Fongafale, the capital of Tuvalu.
Tuvalu, in the South Pacific, is an independent island nation within the British Commonwealth. Its 9 islands comprise small, sparsely populated atolls and reef islands with palm-fringed beaches and WWII sites. Off Funafuti atoll, the capital, the Funafuti Conservation Area offers calm waters for diving and snorkeling among sea turtles and tropical fish. The marine area includes several uninhabited islets sheltering sea birds.

------------------------------------------------
In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Tuvalu.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. In the southern Pacific Ocean, few island nations enchant visitors quite like Tuvalu. Comprising nine small islands with a population of only about 10,000, Tuvalu is one of the smallest countries in the world. Formerly part of a larger area islands under British control, Polynesians on Tuvalu voted to separate from the Gilbert Island in 1974. Four years later, Tuvalu gained independence.
2. Funafuti Conservation Area is one of the best places to catch some beautiful natural sights including reefs, channel and a gorgeous lagoon. Thanks to its marine life diversity, it is an excellent spot for snorkeling and scuba diving.
3. Nui, Tuvalu is one of the most important islands in Tuvalu. The permanent settlement is on the main islet of Fenuatapu in Nui, Tuvalu. The Nui Island consists of 11 main islets. All the islets are separated by passages. The sea gushes through the passages from ocean to the lagoon. During low tide, people can walk across these passages from islet to islet.
4. The NationalResearch Council in the United States predicted that by 2100 global sea levels would rise 55 inches due to climate change. If that prediction holds true, the rising sea levels could damage the country’s coral roots and wipe out Tuvalu altogether. By 2012, there was already coastal erosion, a result of the rising sea level, excavation for construction, and extreme weather.
5. The origins of the people of Tuvalu are addressed in the theories regarding migration into the Pacific that began about 3000 years ago. During pre-European-contact times there was frequent canoe voyaging between the nearer islands including Samoa and Tonga. Eight of the nine islands of Tuvalu were inhabited; thus the name, Tuvalu, means "eight standing together" in Tuvaluan. Possible evidence of fire in the Caves of Nanumanga may indicate human occupation for thousands of years.
6. The tiny island-nation of Tuvalu receives a yearly payment of almost $2.2 million for doing nothing at all. The is the money that the Tuvalu government receives from royalties from the country’s domain name, .tv! This ammount is about ten per cent of the government's total revenue. Domain name income paid most of the cost of paving the streets of Funafuti and installing street lighting in mid-2002.
7. Parents and children in Tuvalu usually do not have cordial relationships. However, relationships between grandparents and grandchildren, adoptive parents and adoptive children, and mother’s brother and sister’s child tend to be warm and affectionate. Within the family, you will notice that there is the most constrained cross-sex interaction between siblings, first, second, and even third cousins. Even today, they have to avoid each other totally except for things considered most necessary.
